Gemologists simply hold diplomas in the identification and grading of gemstones; valuation science is an entirely separate field of study. Good appraisal groups require that one learn basic principles through a university-level program and take part in ongoing education in one's area of specialty, as well as in valuation, and periodic testing in both areas in order to achieve recertification. Anyone can claim to be a personal property appraiser. Good, verified credentials are the best way to select a qualified appraiser.
